VP44 Bleeding: How to Bleed Your Injection Pump

Hello.

Now, I also had a significant problem getting the V6 TDI to start after replacing the fuel filter once.
Does anyone have a well-functioning guide on how to perform the filter change in the best possible way?
Here, I have only found one thing so far, but I can't really make much sense of it: /viewtopic.php?t=7228&highlight=vp44+entl%FCften.
If there's already something written about it, please provide the link.

Best regards,

Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

You probably mean this passage...

I bought a special oil pump for this purpose. It's connected to the ESP instead of the leak oil line, and then you clamp off the return flow before the filter. You pump until no more air comes out, then crank the engine while the pump is running. If the tank is completely full, you don't have to worry about the overflow reservoir, which might otherwise be emptied; just connect the fuel pump directly via a fuse or occasionally turn the ignition on and off.

I don't quite understand that.
What exactly does it mean:

- Disconnect the return line before the filter (what does that look like in practice?).
- then operate with the pump running?


But I can see that there probably isn't a quick and easy way to do it.

Best regards,

Yes.

What exactly does it mean:

- Clamp the return line before the filter (what does that look like in practice?). Secure it with a special clamp or a C-clamp.
- Then, with the pump running, start "orgling"? Initially, just run the pump for a while without any or with only a small amount of air coming out, and then start "orgling" while the pump is still running. VAG has a hand vacuum pump with a collection container attached to it for this purpose.


But I can see that there probably isn't a quick and easy way to do it.

No. It's like in "Das Boot," when the engine starts up again after the bombing...
